I see that Ivoclar is offering two types of veneers: The Press Empress esthetic technology and the Empress CAD/CAM veneers. What is the difference and which are better? Thanks

The quality of Empress is dependant on the technician
For the most part Empress® is being replaced by eMax. Same company, but eMax is much stronger. There are pros and cons to each, so the goal must be clear.
Empress CAD CAM is milled from a block and Empress Esthetic is a pressed ceramic. They essentially are identical, just different processing.

Types of Porcelain Veneers
Both Empress products are good products. The CAD/CAM product is mainly used in a machine that mills the veneers -- some dentists do these chairside. The main difference will be in aesthetics - and this difference depends on who makes the veneers. The best bet is to go to an experienced cosmetic dentist who uses an experienced master ceramist -- they will be able to choose the products best for your case.
